lazy is the only option
Today I've been relegated
to comfy clothes
that lack all colour
pattern, sparkle or style
Pretty clothes aren't an option
when my toddler screams
every time I put something on
that he too would like to wear
nevermind that he can only
wear them like tents or capes
After having two skirts
ripped off me this morning
as I committed the crime
of daring to wear them
I gave up
and decided it was a leggings
kind of day
to comfy clothes
that lack all colour
pattern, sparkle or style

Lol ! Hang in there! You'll miss these days once they're grown and on they're own.
(Not really, it's a well earned break once they do!)

I have a grown adult daughter and a toddler lol. I have been reminded that I really don't miss this phase of them wrapping themselves up in my clothes while I'm wearing them, or little hands down my shirt.

Dear I,
I absolutely commend your patience and ability to acquiesce to the situation. I loved you could create a charming poem from the experience. Excellent writing. H🌷

Thank you H. I'm pretty patient most of the time, and I accommodate where I can. One day he had a meltdown when we had to go out, and he wanted all my clothes, and of course I couldn't give them to him. So that was a fun morning.
I've realised lately there is beauty is things that we consider boring or ordinary. Not everything has to be grand or high stakes. Sometimes it's worth writing about the silly little things in life.

When children make it difficult to be fashionable. Some women who are mother's wont wear bikinis on holiday with children because they tend to reach and pull at them.

Yep, I'm that mother. I can no longer wear a bikini because people will get flashed. Pretty sure I've accidentally flashed some of the parents at swimming lessons. I know he won't be pulling at my clothes forever.
Re: Re. lazy is the only option
You have my sympathy but be lucky he isn't pulling at parts of you (I hope not!), My youngest nephew as a baby had a tendency to pull at his mother's teeth, prompting me to remind him "You're not a dentist!"

Lol, my son (3) doesn't get me when his teeth often, but he has this odd habit of grabbing my finger and sticking in his mouth, not so he can bite me, though he does clamp down, but so I can rub his gums. It never gets any less weird.
